Matthew Phelps - Painter "I have been working on landscape painting for several years now. My methods have changed over the years, however there are common themes running throughout my work. I tend to work within a dark tonal range, this allows me to strip the image of detail and create an atmosphere of quiet. I prepare the canvases or board through applying several layers of under-painting. Once I have prepared the ground I begin making marks which evolve into forms which allude to memories of certain places." After graduating from Aberystwyth University in 1990, Matt spent some time travelling before training as a teacher. He currently works as Head of Art at a sixth form college in Norfolk. In recent years he has exhibited in London, Suffolk and Norfolk.
